This story with restricting users is a similar one to Manifest V3 in Chromium.

But we don't have anything like FF as an alternative to go from Android. Especially considering banks require "certified OS".

What if we collectively decide to use the web alternatives for banking? We lose some convinience since they are generally desktop oriented, but they don't check who signed my kernel

My bank recently made it that app-based MFA must be used for every single web login. Unless I and many others are willing to swap banks in the vain hope that the new bank won't do the same thing (I am not), then we're cooked.

I stayed away from cryptocurrency when DeFi and Web3 and NFTs were everywhere, but I've started paying with BTC where I can, so I don't have to deal with banking apps, and to stick it to puritanical payment processors, after the Steam/Itch debacle.

Know Your Customer is acceptable. Nanny Your Customer is not.

Monero is the cryptocurrency everyone uses for this. The userbase and community is completely separate from the Web3 NFT dog-coin crowd (unlike Bitcoin).

There's also systems like PaySafeCard, which is accepted by Steam.

I'm really interested in Monero. I feel kinda nervous about using it, though, since even though everything I'm buying is legal, it feels like I'd be calling a lot of attention, and I want to make sure I'm buying and exchanging it in legal (if private) ways.

Using Monero is not much different from using Bitcoin. It's actually safer than Bitcoin in this regard, as you can't accidentally receive coins that are "tainted" by what previous owners did with them.
